Development of a shear strength test method for NITE–SiC joining material

Shear Strength Measurement of AV119 Epoxy‐Joined SiC by Different Torsion Tests

“…The torque was obtained using the force measured at specimen fracture. No stress concentration factor caused by the fillet notch was used in this work. Results from mechanical tests are reported as average values and standard deviation.…”

“…The torsion test methods are also proposed in some ASTM standards, but none of them is directly suitable for joined ceramics. 6,7 Results obtained by testing in torsion-joined ceramic cylinders (TC), tubes (TT), and hourglasses (THG) have been recently reported, [8][9][10][11][12][13] discussed and compared with results obtained by testing the same joined ceramics by lap tests and asymmetrical four-point bending test (ASTM C1469-10). As discussed in these references, torsion tests have a potential to evaluate the shear properties of the joint interface, provided that the fracture occurs in the joined area.…”

Torsional Shear Strength Tests for Glass–Ceramic Joined Silicon Carbide

“…A cooperative work involving ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) (U.S.A.), Kyoto University (Japan) and Politecnico di Torino (Italy) proposed some modifications of the torsion test (ASTM F734‐95 and F1362‐97 for plastics) as an alternative to the asymmetrical four‐point bending to measure pure shear strength of the joints. A miniature hour‐glass‐shaped configuration has been designed and modeled to minimize the specimen volume for the purpose of neutron irradiation study …”

Torsion test technique for interfacial shear evaluation of F82H RAFM HIP-joints

“…Interfacial properties of the HIPed joints were evaluated by the torsion test method at room-temperature with a guideline of ASTM F734, which has originally been standardized for nonmetallic joints [6,7]. The dimensions of the torsion test specimen are shown in Fig.…”
